Supporting Agriculture, Tradition and Ecosystems in the Pogány-Havas Microregion of Transylvania (Romania) Supporting Agriculture, Tradition and Ecosystems in the Pogány-Havas Microregion of Transylvania (Romania) Gergely RODICS1 and Barbara KNOWLES2 Pogány-havas Association, Miercurea Ciuc, Str. Szék nr.123, jud. Harghita, Romania [email protected] [email protected] KEYWORDS: Romania, Transylvania, rural development, traditional agriculture, biodiversity ABSTRACT Our diverse region comprises parts of two distinct geographical and cultural areas in the Eastern Carpathians of Romania: Csík (Ciuc) and Gyimes (Ghimeş). The Csík Basin has a wide, open landscape surrounded by mountains, while Gyimes is a mountain area with deep and narrow valleys. Both are exceptionally rich in natural treasures: many rare plants and animals, including the southernmost range of several species left here since the last ice age. Traditional agriculture has created and maintains a small scale patchwork of hay meadows, pastures, fields and forests: an ideal management system for biodiversity. It provides essential ecosystem and conservation services, and offers resilience to economic and environmental shocks. This beautiful region has important lessons to offer the modern world. There is much talk of sustainable agriculture and forestry, local food production and biodiversity protection in Europe, yet the villagers of Transylvania have been managing their land and rural economies sustainably for the past thousand years. We describe an integrated programme to improve rural incomes, support traditional agriculture, understand the ecology and biology of mountain hay meadows, and identify and protect key species and habitats in need of conservation. INTRODUCTION Pogány-havas (Pagan Snow Cap) Microregion Association was founded in 1999 by Harghita County Council. Its founding members are the local councils of seven municipalities as well as local NGOs and entrepreneurs. These entities work together to form common goals, expand the local economy and develop tourism. We work on a range of projects to increase local incomes, preserve the region's cultural heritage, and conserve the natural environment. The Association has three main fields of activity: ecotourism; development of the local economy, with special attention to agriculture; and nature conservation. The Pogány-havas Microregion comprises six village municipalities in the Eastern Carpathians: Păuleni-Ciuc, Mihăileni, Frumoasa, Lunca de Sus, Lunca de Jos and Ghimeş-Făget. Ghimeş- Făget is located within Bacau county while the rest belong to Harghita county. Şumuleu-Ciuc (Csíksomlyó) is part of the microregion too: the sacred centre of Transylvania for Hungarian Catholics. Frumoasa was a major Armenian centre which still retains its architectural and cultural monuments. A municipality may incorporate a number of small villages and/or settlements. There is a total of 33 villages altogether with 23,000 minority Hungarian residents of which 36% are Székely, while 64% belong to the Gyimes Csángós. Most of the region’s inhabitants have a semi subsistence farm, or are actively involved in family farming. Cow breeding and milk production gives many families their main monthly income, being the most significant activity in the area, which creates a high nature value landscape and an incredible biodiversity. This beautiful region of Romania has important lessons to offer the modern world. There is much talk of sustainable agriculture and forestry, local food production and biodiversity protection in Europe, but Europe has failed to meet the Convention for Biological Diversity’s target: to achieve by 2010 a significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss. Yet the villagers of Transylvania have been managing their land and rural economies sustainably for the past thousand years. This region retains outstanding biological diversity in a working agricultural landscape. The small scale patchwork of hay meadows, pastures and fields is an ideal management system for biodiversity – a system that semi-subsistence farmers have maintained for centuries. Storks, frogs, eagles, insects, newts, corncrakes, wild flowers thrive here in abundance. Local food production and consumption is the norm in most villages. This traditional lifestyle provides essential ecosystem and conservation services to the country, and offers resilience to economic and environmental shocks. This paper describes the activities of the Pogány-havas Association, especially those relating to ecology, conservation and traditional agriculture. Table 1: Mission and vision The mission of the Pogány-havas Association is to improve the quality of life of locals by respecting natural values and traditions. Our vision is that the people in the region receive more income thanks to actions based on local resources and traditions. By informing and educating people and by fellowship actions (kaláka spirit) our community is happy with its situation. We wish to become a model region where people live in harmony with nature and tourists visit us to experience this kind of lifestyle. www.poganyhavas.ro POGÁNY-HAVAS MICROREGION Extending from the valley of the Csík (Ciuc) Basin and out to the eastern edge of Transylvania, continuing out into Bacau County in Romanian Moldova, lies the Pogány-havas (Pagan Snow Cap) Region. Few visitors from the West have discovered this very special part of Transylvania, which retains its strong Hungarian culture, language and traditions from the year 1000, although it has been part of Romania since 1920. This diverse area comprises parts of two distinctly separate regions, Csík and Gyimes (Ghimeş). Csík has a wide, open landscape surrounded by mountains, while Gyimes is a mountain area with deep and narrow valleys. Both are rich in natural treasures: many rare plants and animals, including the southernmost range of several species left here since the last ice age. The Csík basin is one of the three large tectonic mountain basins of South East Transylvania. It is characterized by bustling agricultural activity with the beautiful backdrop of green mountains. Another characteristic is the naturally carbonated spring water, called "borvíz" (wine-water) locally. The terrain in Gyimes is mountainous and the villages are tucked in narrow valleys. Gyimes also has many natural springs. Each area is uniquely beautiful and offers a wide range of cultural relics, natural marvels and scenic trails. Separating the two regions is one of the most important passes in the East Carpathian Mountains: the Gyimes Pass. With wonderful panoramic views, it connects the Carpathian Basin and the Transcarpathian Regions. You can reach Pogány-havas, our organization’s namesake mountain, from the pass. Farming here still uses methods characteristic of another age, on a very small, subsistence scale. The great value of this method of farming is that it creates and preserves habitats for the animals and wild flowers of the alpine grasslands and wet meadows while also maintaining a rich cultural value. The biodiversity of the region is described in detail elsewhere in this volume (Csergő et al., 2011). The contrasting topography of Csík and Gyimes, as well as historical and cultural differences, offers interesting comparisons (Table 2). In Csík, pastures and forests are managed on behalf of the village shareholders by communal management organisations (composesorates). Cows are grazed daily on the village pastures in a common herd and milked at home in the morning and evening. Gyimes has some common land, but for the most part smallholders own and manage their own parcels of pasture and forest. The difference has a historic background: the Gyimes area was populated only during and after the 17th century, and the area of the villages (first just places for a house and a barn) was bought from the composesorates of the Csík villages. Here in the summer months, cows are taken to the mountains to graze the high pastures, and they don’t return to the village before autumn. In both regions, hay meadows are owned and managed by individual families, creating a mosaic of habitats mown and manured at different times, an ideal system for fostering diverse plantlife and sustaining meadow wildlife. Results from our 2010 survey of 60 farmers in two contrasting research areas (Biró, 2011) show a 10% decrease in cows and a 20% decrease in hay meadow in the past ten years. This average figure disguises big local variations: a decrease of 55% in the Csik sample (Delne village) and increase of 13% in Gyimes (Hidegség village), despite lower milk prices in Gyimes. Note that this is small sample and may not represent the picture across the whole region.

  • Ethnomedicinal Treatment of Gastrointestinal Disorders in Transylvania, Romania
    Acta Ethnographica Hungarica 62(1), 207–220 (2017) DOI: 10.1556/022.2017.62.1.10 Ethnomedicinal Treatment of Gastrointestinal Disorders in Transylvania, Romania Nóra Papp – Mónika Tóth – Tünde Dénes – Kinga Gyergyák – Rita Filep – Sámuel Gergely Bartha – Rita Csepregi – Viktória Lilla Balázs – Ágnes Farkas Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Pécs Abstract: Ethnomedicine using mostly plants is of pivotal importance nowadays in several Transylvanian regions in Romania. In this study (2007–2015), one Swabian-German, one Hungarian, three Csángó-Hungarian and nine Székely-Hungarian villages were selected to collect ethnomedicinal treatments for various gastrointestinal diseases. Some of the studied villages have partial or no permanent medical and pharmaceutical services. The 374 inhabitants interviewed used mostly medicinal plants based on ancient knowledge. The 78 (53 wild and 25 cultivated) plants documented have 181 local names and are used to treat ailments such as loss of appetite, bloating, stomach ache, gastric ulcer, and diarrhea, mostly in tea form. This knowledge decreases continuously because of loss of interest among young people and through frequent use of media sources and books. Although some of these plants have also been described in official medicinal sources, several data suggest the need for further fieldwork and new experimental analyses to highlight the valuable role of these plants in recent phytotherapy. Keywords: ethnobotany, fieldwork, medicinal plant, Transylvania INTRODUCTION Ethnomedicinal home practices, involving the use of plants, animals and minerals, have been known in Transylvania for several centuries. People living in isolated villages have unique experience on plants’ use because of lack of medical services. This indigenous knowledge is based on special observations on how to apply both wild and cultivated plants.

    1.) Gebietsumf ang und Ortsverzeichnis der Autonomen Mad.jarisehen Region in Rumänien. Bericht u,Auszug Rumänien_ Verwaltung-Bevölkerung Zum Abschluß der Berichterstattung über die Autonome Madjarische Regi­ on, die durch die neue rumänische Verfassung vom 24«September 1952 geschaf­ fen wurde (Vgl. Wissenschaft1.Dienst Südosteuropa Hr.1,S*9 u.22 und Nr.2, S-1 ff u.

Es ist von besonderem Interesse, zu untersuchen, wie weit sich die Ausdeh­ nung der autonomen madjarischen Region an frühere Verwaltungseinheiten u. Grenzen anschließt und noch mehr, wie weit sie sich bemüht, tatsächlich den Grenzen des geschlossenen Siedlungsgebietes der Szekler zu folgen. Man sollte nun meinen, daß sic} die neugeschaffene Region entweder an die genauen Grenzen des geschlossenen madjarischen Siedlungsgebietes halten, also dem eigentlichen Zweck ihrer Errichtung Rechnung tragen würde, oder sich an frühere Verwaltungsgebiete anlehnen, also historischen Erwägungen folgen würde. Es ist jedoch merkwürdigerweise weder das eine noch das an­ dere der Fall. Die Abgrenzung der Autonomen Madjarischen Region schließt sich an keine ehemaligen Verwaltungsgrenzen an und folgt solchen nur an jenen Stellen, wo sie ganz unverrückbar mit von der Natur vorgezeichneten Linien,-insbesondere dem Karpaterhauptkamrn,zusammenfallen. Sie weicht aber auch an vielen Stellen von den Volkstumsgrenzen auffallend

  • Cultural and Linguistic Layers Embedded in Romanian Oikonyms Derived from Hagionyms
    Cultural and linguistic layers embedded in Romanian oikonyms derived from hagionyms Oliviu FELECAN and Nicolae FELECAN Introduction In addition to constituting linguistic, geographical, historical, anthropo- logical, ethnographic, social and psychological markers, toponyms may also function as religious symbols, especially in those cases when the name of a place is derived from a hagionym. In the present paper, we focus on hagionymic oikonyms, a field of research that has been explored through various theoretical frameworks within Romania and which pro- vides fruitful insights into religious and cultural practices and attitudes. In the case of oikonyms bearing a religious background, “the proper name is a linguistic sign that designates a precise referent which can be located in time and space” (Billy 1995, p. 142, apud Vaxelaire 2005, p. 161, orig. French1) and whose position is transparent. Accordingly, our study lies within the broad domain of onomastics, highlighting specific aspects related to anthroponymy, on the one hand, and toponymy, on the other. With regard to Romanian anthroponymy, Puşcariu (1976, p. 298, orig. Romanian) has pointed out that: there is no continuity between the official names of pagan Romans and Christian Romanians. […] Christianity does not seem to have greatly affected old Romanian onomastics. In fact, apart from the two names Nicoară and Sumedrea (from Sâmedru = Sanctus Demetrius)2 ­Romanian does not evidence any other hagionyms revealing ancient phonetic structures. 1 The quotations marked as being originally in French or Romanian (indicated by “orig. French” and “orig. Romanian” respectively) are only provided as translations. 2 As an oikonym, this name does not occur in the Daco-Romanian area.

  • Romania - Adopted on 22 June 2017 Published on 16 February 2018
    ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON THE FRAMEWORK CONVENTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL MINORITIES ACFC/OP/IV(2017)005 Fourth Opinion on Romania - adopted on 22 June 2017 Published on 16 February 2018 Summary The authorities in Romania promote respect and understanding in society and representatives of most national minorities report an overall embracing attitude prevailing between the majority and the minorities. The authorities have made efforts to promote minority cultures and education, and particular steps which have been taken to facilitate representation of national minorities in parliament are widely recognised and appreciated. The Law on Education remains the main legislative basis for teaching in and of national minority languages. A consolidated and coherent legal framework related to the protection of minority rights is lacking and the draft Law on the Status of National Minorities, proposed in parliament in 2006, has still not been adopted. Existing legislation regulating different aspects of national minority protection is disjointed, piecemeal, full of grey zones and open to contradictory interpretation. A coherent policy to guarantee access to minority rights is still lacking and respect of rights of persons belonging to national minorities varies according to local conditions and the goodwill of the municipal or regional authorities. Persistence of negative attitudes and prejudice against the Roma and anti-Hungarian sentiment is of considerable concern. Despite the resolute stance of the National Council for Combating Discrimination, court rulings and statements from the authorities, racist incidents continue to be reported. The revised Strategy for the Inclusion of Romanian Citizens Belonging to the Roma Minority – 2012-2020, adopted in 2015, sets targets in the key areas of education, employment, health and housing and addresses also promotion and protection of Roma culture and participation in public and political life.

  • Ecoterra, No. 26, 2011 55 RELATION BETWEEN SETTLEMENT SYSTEM
    Ecoterra, no. 26, 2011 RELATION BETWEEN SETTLEMENT SYSTEM AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IN CIUC-BASIN IN THE LAST SEVEN CENTURIES Tibor ELEKES University of Miskolc, Depatment of Geography, Hungary Abstract: In Ciuc-basin the evolution of settlement system is a centuries-old process. In 1567, 42 villages were registered. The evaluation of today’s settlement system lasted till the 20th century. In the years of 1950’s and 1960’s the scattered settlements and detached farms were declared villages. During centuries the town system had changed little. Near Miercurea-Ciuc, which had performed administrative duties for a short periods, Băile Tuşnad was declared to town in the middle of 20th century. The evaluation of settlement system, administration and environment are illustrated as a process on the 18 maps, made by myself. In this paper there are published three of them. They give a historical and stop-gap summary. Mass of facts, relating with settlements, regions, environment, administrative units placed in space can represent a base to the organising microregions in the last few years. In the same time old-centuries processes can be traced back: the natural environment was receded step by step with the evaluation of settlement systems. Keywords: settlement system, natural environment, maps. Introduction In the Carpathians the settlement-systems of intermountain basins had come into being after certain stages of development. In the process of changing settlement systems not only the role of natural features, economic and social factors are determinant, but political decisions are also important. The knowledge of the evaluation of settlements system, changing of administration and settlement-environment system plays an important role in the evaluation of settlement system and in resolving of environmental problems.

  • Some Actual Aspects About the Tourism Accomodation in Harghita County
    GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites Year VII, no. 2, vol. 14, November 2014, p.158-167 ISSN 2065-0817, E-ISSN 2065-1198 Article no. 14106-162 SOME ACTUAL ASPECTS ABOUT THE TOURISM ACCOMODATION IN HARGHITA COUNTY George-Bogdan TOFAN* “Babeş-Bolyai” University, Faculty of Geography, Cluj-Napoca, 5-7 Clinicilor Street, 40006, Romania, e-mail: [email protected] Adrian NIŢĂ “Babeş-Bolyai” University, Faculty of Geography, Gheorgheni Branch, Romania, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The aim of the study is to synthetically present the tendencies of one of the most important elements of the tourism, the accommodation, within Harghita County. Analyzed for more than two decades, quantitatively it presents an evolution with different positive and negative rates. By categories, the tourist villas dominate at the beginning of the ’90s, especially in the tourist resorts of the county (Borsec, Lacu Roşu, Izvoru Mureşului, Harghita-Băi, Băile Tuşnad, Băile Homorod). Later the situation changed for newer categories, existing and functioning on private initiatives (tourist pensions, agritourist pensions, bungalows), plus for some of the classic categories, the tourist chalet, adapted for the mountain tourism, the hotel, present especially in urban settlements and several resorts (Miercurea-Ciuc, Gheorgheni, Odorheiu Secuiesc, Topliţa, Băile Tuşnad, Harghita-Băi, Borsec), the motel and the tourist stop, specific to the automobile travel. Key words: accommodation, comfort degree, villas, tourist pensions, Harghita * * * * * * INTRODUCTION Aspects about the evolution of the accommodation in Harghita County were presented before in several studies approaching the geographic domain at national level (Geografia României, Geografia Umană şi Economică, 1984), at county level (the Romanian Academy series about the Romanian Counties, Judeţul Harghita, Pişotă, Iancu, Bugă, 1976; Judeţul Harghita, Cocean et al., 2013) or in some doctoral theses regarding the mountain depressions (Şeer, 2004, Mara, 2008, Tofan, 2013).
